Eleanor & Sophie Brown: How sisters’ plot to publish nude photos of father’s mistress on escort site backfired

Two sisters have ruined their lives after posting naked photos of their father’s mistress on an escort website – with one facing jail and the other fired from her police job.

Eleanor and Sophie Brown wanted to humiliate the woman after their father Geoff cheated on their mother.

The siblings colluded in posting intimate pictures of the woman on an escort website, adding her husband’s phone number, which resulted in him receiving calls from men.

Eleanor, 24, is now facing an “almost inevitable” prison sentence and Sophie was barred from policing for life after resigning from her patrol officer job in disgrace over her part in the plot.

At the family home in Wetherby, West Yorkshire, a shaken Geoff Brown, 61, who is still with his wife Sarah, 57, declined to comment.

The affair had taken place more than ten years ago while both couples were already married.

But last week, Leeds Crown Court heard Eleanor, of Morley, uploaded the photos to the website in 2022 along with the phone number of the former mistress’s husband for people to contact.

Their actions affected her husband’s business and caused the woman “a deep, sickening feeling of complete panic”, the court heard.

Eleanor had denied two counts of sharing private sexual photographs without consent but then changed her plea to guilty.

Adjourning the hearing ahead of sentencing next month, Judge Alexander Menary said it was “almost inevitable” she would go to prison “because of the nature of the offending and the persistence of it”.

A disciplinary hearing for West Yorkshire Police found Sophie guilty of gross misconduct.

She quit her job after she and her sister’s actions were reported. The hearing was told she encouraged her sister to post the explicit photos in an “act of revenge.”
